Create 4 beautiful, eco-friendly spiky baubles with our DIY kit, inspired by traditional Polish design.
These decorations are deeply rooted in Polish history and they are called jeżyki, which means hedgehogs.
Jeżyki were a favourite Christmas decoration during communism, when Polish people lacked some materials that now we have in abundance. Yet, nothing stopped them from using what they had in their homes to make colourful ornaments. Papers, magazines were used to create the decorations. Today, you can still use them, but the most popular material is good quality tissue paper. Let’s make them!
What’s inside of your kit?
- 2 layers of tissue paper
- Recycled cardboard paper circle
- A small piece of aluminum foil
- A needle and thread
- A pin
- Instructions
What’s not included?
• Glue (don’t use water based one, stick glue is preferable or any non-water based glue)
• A pencil
• Scissors
Please choose 2 colours for your bauble. The baubles in the photos are for demonstration only. We tried to capture the true colours of the tissues as much as we can. There might be slight colour variations due to computer resolution.
This kit should produce 4 hedgehogs.
The instructions will include our eco tips for using left over paper to create more ecofriendly decorations.
This is not a toy, please keep it away from the children.
